Almost certainly.

But we can probably tell you which chart you might want to use if you tell us what you want to use it for.

I'd suggest this one.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Seriously OP, if you can't be any less vague with your question, then I'd sell the BPO and step away from Science and Industry.

A chart for what? how much it costs to build, what profit you can make on the item, what levels of research are optimum, how big yo' momma is, how much people like chribba, how much people dislike goons.

There are charts and there are charts.

Iam sorry for the lack of Information.. Here we try again:

Already, i have done some mining and bought a cheap BPC.. This BPC needs minerals like

543 Trit
400 Pye
200 Mex
72 Iso
32 Nox

Now i want to know if i would make any profits with my skills at all based on the current minerals prices.. So if i was going to make more i would make any profit buying the minerals from the market,

I hope this explained it better

Pretty easy to calculate. Take the quantity of minerals, multiply by current market price, add together and compare with sale price. Maybe 5 min with a spreadsheet.
Or Steve's link if you prefer.

Oh, and do the calcs before you build the first, not the second. The minerals you mined have a value that is !=0. Second thoughts, do the calcs before buying the blueprint.

As Elena says

Work out how much each mineral will cost you to buy the amounts you need
Add these figures up, along with allowing for slot cost where you build (for example, I've just docked at a Peace and Order station and tried to manufacture from a BPC (Antimatter Charge S)

Right click the BP, select manufacturing, select where you want to manufacture (which station) (You must have the blueprint in that station before you can do anything), then select one of the assembly lines, even if they're all being used you can add to a queue.

Then a box will come up with Accept Quote? at the top left corner, with various figures for minerals, skill, and some information at the bottom.

One of these is the Install Cost, and one is the Usage Cost
The install cost is what it says on the tin, this doesn't alter nomatter how many you build, eg I tried to build 1 run of the antimatter and got install cost of 904.49 isk, and tried again building 10 runs, and it's still the same 904.49
The usage cost is variable, and depends on how long the job takes to build, you'll have to check your build quote for those figures.

Then there's the cost of selling the item, Brokers Fee and Sales Tax, again these vary on your standings and skills, but are easy enough to work out.

Brokers fees are paid by the character who sets up the order, so if you sell direct to one of the orders at the bottom then you don't pay the brokers fee, if you set the order up yourself so you set the price, then you pay the brokers fee.

Add up all the costs and see if it's worth building to sell or not.
